What could possibly be better than a dish high in protein but low in calories and fat? A dish that is super easy to prepare and even easier to clean up, of course! It is no secret that fish is an excellent source of lean protein and with it’s anti-inflammatory benefits from omega-3’s, consuming fish at least a few times a week, is becoming more and more popular.

With this “fish in foil” recipe, you can use any variety of fish that you like, combined with any of your favourite vegetables. As a matter of fact, this dish is so easy to prepare that you can customize each piece of fish to accommodate any picky eater in the house.

Eggs pack protein, convenience and taste. But if you’re scrambling to find new preparation methods, look no further.

Eggs are damn near perfect for bodybuilders and other health enthusiasts, but the egg sure endured a lot of grief over years. The cholesterol scare instituted a campaign of egg-bashing, the sort of smears to make you think eggs are laid by scapegoats rather than chickens.

Eggs provide a great source of protein, and protein is an extremely powerful component of any fat-loss or muscle-building diet. You can’t go wrong with this highly-nutritious food. Eggs are rich in tryptophan, selenium, iodine, vitamin B2, phosphorus, vitamin B5, vitamin D and many micronutrients.

The only risk with eggs is that they are SUCH a staple that you grow weary of eating them every day. There’s no reason to get bored with these universal dynamos! Preparing eggs in unorthodox ways builds a skillet repertoire that keeps you growing, not gagging.

1: Mexican Scramble

When you need a morning fix, nothing beats scrambled eggs for brevity and versatility. Toss in chopped veggies (peppers, onions, tomatoes, etc.) and add a little cheese to round-out a protein-packed breakfast.

The Process:

Heat half a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat and add veggies.

Crack two eggs and add a few egg whites into the pan.

Scramble using a spatula until eggs are white and fluffy and sprinkle salt, pepper and garlic. Add cayenne pepper if you like it spicy.

2: Hard Boiled egg and Tuna Salad

Hard-boiled eggs are a great way to meet protein requirements. And they offer a vastly different taste from scrambled eggs. Hard-boiled eggs are easy to prepare in large batches for quick meals on the go.

Why is detective fiction called “hard boiled?” No clue. But we love this recipe.

For something unique, try preparing a hard-boiled egg and mixing it into tuna salad.

The Process:

Hard boil 1-2 two eggs, peel and dice finely. Mix with one can of tuna. Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of low fat mayonnaise and one tablespoon of relish.

Add salt and pepper and spoon onto two slices of Ezekiel bread to form a sandwich.

Egg white protein crepes are the perfect dessert (or a weekend brunch idea) when you’re in the mood. This nutrient-balanced snack takes only moments to prepare.

This recipe can double as a sixth-grade science diorama of a volcano.

The Process:

Whisk in a bowl two egg whites with half a scoop of protein powder. Blend well and pour onto a non-stick, heated pan and cook like a pancake. Flip carefully with a spatula once the edges begin to bubble.

Remove from the pan and smear with almond butter, sliced apples and a sprinkling of cinnamon, or try natural peanut butter with sliced bananas.

Egg Whites

Get all the protein of eggs with none of the fat! Egg Whites are a convenient and super-lean protein source!

5: Egg Drop Soup

Winter draw nears – hell, it is here – and chances are you’ll be on the lookout for comfort meals. Soup fits the bill perfectly.

Rather than resorting to the played-out chicken noodle, consider egg drop soup. It’s incredibly simple to prepare (if you can drop eggs!) and can tailor-fit any and all nutritional requirements.
